There are some folks in the gym world who feel that semaglutide drugs like Ozempic are going to be the undoing of all gyms.

We disagree! We think there's an opportunity to help people who have improved their health with these drugs to take their wellness to the next level.

Semaglutide drugs are a gamechanger for people with diabetes and obesity. Wellness isn't just about blood markers and blood pressure. It's also about confidence, strength and feeling good in your own skin. That's where gyms come in.

Fitness influencers are nothing new. Back in the day it was the fitness models and bodybuilders gracing the covers of Muscle & Fitness, Shape and Flex magazine.

The ubiquitous nature of social media allows these influencers have a greater reach than old school magazines ever did. Almost all of them promote a fitness reality that is anything but real. 

We have producer Chris to thank for this topic! Take a listen.

🎆🎇It's that time of year!

While we're not ones for making New Year's resolutions, it is a time of year when people start thinking about making diet and fitness changes.

On the final episode of 2024 we're talking about how making small changes rather than big "resolutions" is more sustainable and successful.

😂😂CrossFit hang-up! Oh, we've got more than a few!

Do you put your plates on backwards? Or do you need your collars to be the same? How about squatting inside the cage?

We're talking about our hang-ups, quirky idiosyncrasies and funny habits on the latest episode.

Greg is in fine form! Wait for about the last three minutes. This Greg-ism might be his best yet!

🎄Tis the season for yummy food!

We're all about enjoying whatever you want this holiday season. Even if you consume an additional 7000 calories over the course of the next two weeks you'd maybe gain two extra pounds. It's not a big deal.

Fiona, Greg and I share guilt-free memories of our favourite Christmas treats. Some of our favourite's include Greg's mom's Christmas cake, Nyree's mom's shortbread and Fiona's mom's plum pudding. 

So put on your stretchy pants and enjoy the season!

Are you taking a break from your fitness routine this holiday season? This is a bit of a hot topic at the Isle of Sound studio. 

There are a couple of ways to interpret taking a break. For us taking a break or breaking from the routine is as much a mental break as it is a physical one.

Taking intentional breaks is about being deliberate in how you break from routine. It isn't doing something new for the sake of the novelty of it. It is about changing the pace, doing something that is physically or mentally stimulating in a different way.

Fiona and I don't love rowing, but we do like it a lot more when we share the experience with our awesome members.

Our 4th Annual Row-a-Thon saw six teams each row 21.1k in support of the Dunnville Hospital and Healthcare Foundation. We are currently at $3020 in total donations!

We're recapping the highlights of another fantastic fundraiser. The link to donate is here:

Armistice Day, or Remembrance Day, marks the end of World War I, in 1918. We’ve been honouring that day and those who serve in all branches of the military for 106 years. While the tools of war have changed, the physical and mental demands have not.

Being fit to serve can be the difference between life and death on the front line. That front line could be overseas in a war zone or a house fire in your neighbourhood. Greg shares his experience on the front line of search and rescue and talks about the fitness requirements of first responders.

Take a listen!

How did you fare with the switch to Standard Time? Feeling a little groggy and out of sorts? You are not alone.

Fiona says it takes her a few days to adjust to the time change. Greg and Nyree feel it makes no difference because they never see the sun in the morning or late evening.

We talk about maintaining healthy sleep habits year round and the importance of getting sunshine every day.

Greg is enjoying his favourite beer while Fiona and Nyree are savouring an Italian red.

You don't have to be training for anything specific to be training. CrossFit is all about training for the demands of life. 

Lee and Holly are back! On this episode we talk about what training means to us and how fitness is about more than you.

Take a listen and tell us what you are training for.
